If Hunter Johnson - or any other 5* player, for that matter - should happen to inexplicably opt for Arkansas, - - he would very likely IMMEDIATELY drop to 3* status.

If this report is true, I WOULD be concerned that we might be heavily-loading-up on QBs, - - - necessitating a winnowing out process to divest our program of several QBs who would very likely never see playing time. That's just idle speculation on my part.

Hunter Johnson is a good player, and could help us. He fits the dual option Morris wants and can make some great throws on the run Did anyone actually look at his mopup duty stats or high school/elite 11 tape?

78% Completion, 2 td and 1 int. He was a true FR last year, so could transfer in RS and have 3 to play 3. Not to mention, I would think his knowledge of the offense (Clemson & Morris offense are similar) would potentially be better than our guys.

He is 3rd string on a National Championship contender because the #1 overall player in nation who is a freak prospect enrolled. That and he lost the job as a true FR to another great veteran QB who shined last season. Give him a year to learn the offense under Morris, and I would think he'd be ready to roll!

exactly, man. He is an amazing Qb. Rated highly, yes, VERY highly, as in top 25 over all and #2 QB. His stats are great. He already knows the offense. The ONLY reason he'd come here is b/c the two guys ahead of him are two FREAKS, and b/c he has a great chance to take over as QB here being as he'll be the most talented QB on campus and could run the scout team while he sits a year.. But hogville gonna hogville. I 100% concur with you, man.

yes I am an idiot along with every coach in America that offered the kid...Have you watched any video on this kid since you think we should turn our shoulder to him?

Dude, I asked you an honest non Smart Arse question if your "yes please" was based on more than the five star rating. You answered that question saying basically no. Now you are trying to defend yourself when I'm not even arguing. You could have said tape, offers, etc, yet you didn't till you realized how silly it is to beg for a kid to transfer here because of his star rating.

The point I was trying to make is I don't put all the stock in the world on star rating, if we do as Arkansas fans then why do we even waste our time? We've seen first hand commits get star bumps by committing to our division rivals and others. We've seen first hand a 5 star Arkansas kid not ever perform close to his ranking.

It's more about recruiting to your system than anything in todays football. I also like to put more stock in legit offers than stars, however I am wavering off of that because I think we are seeing more offers passed around now that may not be committable than ever before. Big picture, the kid can't play this season anyways, we just brought in two more scholarship QB's with us pursing by most on heres accord an all world beater, and we want to take in another transfer. How many scholarships will that be at the QB spot come next spring? Way too many when we have depth issues all over the place.

My yes please was based off of one of two games I saw Clemson play last year. He got in for mop up duty and the TV announcers raved about the kid and then he led them on his first drive going perfect if i recall. He actually looked better than Bryant. Was even more intrigued when I looked him up this morning and read some stuff about him. His high school and small college film look good. Hes a plus athlete obviously when he was rated one of the top 24 in the nation at the Nike camp and was the only QB. His offers speak for themselves.. commitable i would guess since he was a top 30 player and #2 QB. Morris should be going after him regardless of what he have on campus or have coming in. He could suck or we could strike gold like we did with Mallett. He looks like he would be a perfect fit for what Morris wants to do.

link=topic=659984.msg11489023#msg11489023 date=1523895694]If he fits what I want, sure. We saw a 5* a few years ago that didn't fit.[/quote]You need to make sure Coach Morris knows what you want so he can decide, but if left to his own devices he probably wants the same thing that Clemson does since they run the same system.

The kid can't play this upcoming season, right? So He's going to beat out say a CK whose been under Morris for a full season and two offseasions, or a Nolan, or hopefully the stud that we keep hearing about in Gunnell?

I'm all for competition, but at some point we are on path to either deter future QB's to keep the pipeline going or we will have way too many scholarships being spent on QB's.

I was thinking the exact same thing. A Texas high 4 star to me, keeping channels going that way, is worth more than a transferring 5 star running from competition.

But hogville gonna hogville. I 100% concur with you, man.no, he wouldnt. He is a transfer, bro.

id take the kid and let it work itself out. if he comes here cool. perhaps will have an idea of what we are already trying to run. will theoretically make the everyone get better if they want to start. people see the 5* and automatically think he's awesome. that isnt always the case. i wish it was a 5* OL or DL player that was wanting to transfer in though. haha.. but, i think we'd take the kid if he wants to come and see how it goes. the bad might be that it may deter Gunnel from coming if we had a 5* kid transfer in. never know.

"...The NCAA is considering allowing athletes who are doing well in the classroom to transfer with immediate eligibility and permitting incoming freshmen to back out of a national letter of intent if there is a head coaching change...."

"...The group will meet again in April and plans to have a model it can present to NCAA membership for comment. The goal is to present a proposal for the Board of Governors to consider for approval in June...."

You donít pass up a five star transfer unless thereís a non-football related issue. Of course, we have no idea if itís even possible but we all know we need as much elite talent as we can get. If he wants to come here, bring him on.
